A. Jesus is a legalist ("rather than spirit" is a bit objective and a very poor point the "spirit of the law" is the consummation of the whole understanding of the law. Letter is a rather weak point as the law is based on principle and it can be used perfectly when understood as a whole functioning body. Jesus clearly taught law and it from the letter as a whole not a itemized list)
2a. Define works and if works are defined how many view works in christianity and on this board..... Jesus is a legalist.
b. JEsus is a legalist
my point the definition is poor and needs refinement.
